Wall Teichoic Acids Facilitate the Release of Toxins from the Surface of Staphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACT A major feature of the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus is its ability to secrete cytolytic toxins. This process involves the translocation of the toxins from the cytoplasm through the bacterial membrane and the cell wall to the external environment. The process of their movement thro...
